here is another problem I have always had with the bank scene: during the shootout with the soldiers, one of Juan's sons gets shot by one of the soldiers... and we don't see him move afterward, so presumably he is dead. yet afterward, there is no mention of any of his sons being killed, till the scene in the cave... (it occurs at 0:43 of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7uuC6oGZh0&feature=related ) does this seem strange to anyone else? In the scene when his sons are massacred in the cave, he says "all of them." I assume he meant "all my sons," not "all my living sons." Is this a glaring continuity error?

There are three types of people in the world, my friend: those who can add, and those who can't.

Yeah, I think it was Napoleon. He is standing, and, looking quite well, when Juan says good-bye: "..I pray the great god in heaven watch over you". Odd...

Then , in the cave, he says:"All of them . Seex. I never counted them before."

Maybe Leone needed a new calculator...

Maybe the Doc could have plucked out the bullets like he did earlier in the film?

The doctor only lanced an infection. Whether it was caused by barbed wire, or, a bullet, is not borne out.

kurug3n: I don't see how "saving Dr. Villega" would necessarily have made any difference. Besides, as said; John told him to jump and he didn't. Perhaps the "good doctor"was fated to shoot Gunther Ruiz with his derringer to prevent John's being shot? Symbolic mercy on John's part allows divine intervention of a peacable healer? Who Knows...

The horses were , of course, recovered and rehitched by Juan's gang, along with the dead driver. It's in the book, but including that scene really just makes the movie run longer.y
